Hello all, I am new to the forum. I am hoping to get some help on the size of the beam and floor joist.
I am planning to cover my existing deck into an enclosed space for my kitchen. The existing deck is 17'-0" x 14'-0". The existing deck has 2x8 floor joists at 16" O.C and 3 rows of double 2x10 beams. The joists length is 14'-0". and the beam length is 17'-0". The longest span of the beam is 8'-0".
I checked the IRC 2018 and could not find any information on the size of the beam.
would the existing structure be sufficient enough for this project?
Thank you so much for your help.
